While not out of the realm of possibility it's pretty unlikely to gain popular usage, making the effort of development too high.

A plugin of this type would require leveraging GMails OAuth API over IMAP/SMTP. To look into it I suggest starting with Google's own Python-based documentation. Naturally there's a security concern involved which makes me think it's better to look elsewhere or develop this privately where you have better control over its environment.
